Do you still cringingly remember "Fuck drugs and government", the hardcore hit of your 15 year self?

Have you just found your old myspace picture, xXxLadyDarkness85xXx?

Come and share your dusty treasure for the world - and you - to laugh and regret - Together. So come and tell us what the old you was up to!

Guidelines

1 - True blunders only

Simply being nerdy just isn’t going to cut it. If you wore your “nerd glasses because you thought you were so hipster,” that’s not enough of a blunder.

Halloween costumes do not count!

2 - You must have a creative title.

No "Puberty has been good to me." or "LOL I was random!" type titles. This is rule is entirely decided by the mods' discretion.

3 - Your blunder must have been at least 3 years ago

No "still blundering"

4 - Childhood photos are great, as long as they actually depict a blunder.

Don't post a picture of yourself as a child just because you're dressed as a child, playing with your Furby, in a sandbox, etc. This isn't #ThrowbackThursday. If it's an actually embarrassing childhood photo though, then fantastic!

5 - It’s suggested that you provide a “now” picture, but you don't HAVE to.

Please post your updated picture as a comment on the original post. Separate posts that share an updated picture will be removed.

If the OP hasn't provided a "now" picture, it’s okay to request one, but don't push it: not everyone wants their current photo on Reddit. Do not go through the OPs post history and post one for them either.

6 - Ask permission if there are other people in the photo

Especially if someone else is the subject of the photo. This isn’t the place to get your blackmail on.

7 - Be thoughtful when replying

We have absolutely zero tolerance for:

  • Blatant insults, racism, homo/transphobia, trolling, threats, or “you’re still blundering”-type comments.

  • "10/10- would bang", "15 year old me would have wanted to be all over you" or "damn, you certainly developed nicely" -type comments

  • Creepy compliments

  • Certain subreddits are prohibited to linking to. Please see the banned words list.

Comments containing some specific words are automatically banned. Here is a full list.

Please report comments that violate this rule. Violations of this rule can and will result in an immediate ban!

8 - No posting personal information

This includes for yourself or other people, and refers to, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, email addresses, facebook or other social media accounts.

9 - Report content that breaks the rules

We can't keep an eye on every single post and comment in the subreddit 24/7. Don't hesitate to contact the moderators for any reason.

10 - All posts are subject to removal without notice at the mods' discretion if the post does not catch on.

We strive to keep the quality of the posts at a high level and if your post does not catch on then it probably does not belong here in the first place.

That’s it! Have fun and laugh at each other, and yourself!

I’m so glad I had this off centered landing strip on my chin when I graduated college.

My life is a sequence of stupid decisions.

My wife's favorite picture of me

I was in the 7th grade, 2000. I've always had a massive head, and my body hadn't quite grown into it yet.

Me in my prime 2008

Anyone remember these things? I used to get them from the quarter machine. Not sure why I liked to stick them to my face

Apparently my banana phone pic wasn’t enough of a blunder, I wonder if the hairdressing debut is?

Wore my pants like a grandpa and my mom cut my hair. (2003, 9 years old)

I was absolutely TERRIFIED of kicking the soccer ball, but I loved running around. I had autism but would remain undiagnosed until adulthood. At this time, I was trying to decide whether practice Judaism or Catholicism (my mom let me choose between her and my dad's) and I talked about it endlessly with very uninterested children my age. Needless to say, I was not a popular kid and had basically no friends.

There's a lot to unpack here but basically I fall out of a tree while filming an embarrassing music video with some friends in 1992

The shorts, the bowtie, the crossed legs. A delightful find

As a preschooler (approx 1984), I thought my mum's rabbit fur ensemble was a classy choice. I was wrong.

Everytime I try to argue that I’m the most normal person in my family, they remind me this photo exists.

Picture day at school

If my kids complain they don’t like their school picture, I just show them this absolute gem from when I was 11. The hair. The glasses. The terrible dress. The awkward smile. This one has it all.

Blunder indeed.

Had a bit too much to drink, i don't remember when this was taken (or anything), probably at the very end of the 90s.
